G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2026 RESULTS; PROVIDES FISCAL 2027 OUTLOOK

​

​

New York, New York – March 12, 2026 – G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NasdaqGS: GIII) (“G-III” or the “Company”) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026, ended January 31, 2026.  

​

Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fiscal 2026 was a pivotal year for G-III. The strength and global recognition of our brands, together with a disciplined operating model and strong balance sheet, enabled us to deliver solid performance despite a challenging environment. For the full year, our go forward portfolio produced strong results, led by our key owned brands, with higher quality revenue, improved full-price sell-throughs, and accelerating global relevance throughout the year. I am proud of the results our team delivered and the meaningful progress we made advancing our long-term strategy.”

​

Mr. Goldfarb concluded, “Looking to fiscal 2027, we are building on the momentum of our go-forward portfolio, which we expect to deliver high-single digit growth for the year, helping to offset the significant lost sales as we exit the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses. We are focused on driving gross margin expansion while streamlining our cost structure to unlock productivity and profitability across the business. With over $400 million of cash on the balance sheet, we enter fiscal 2027 from a position of strength, giving us the flexibility to invest in our own business as well as strategic opportunities, while continuing to return capital to shareholders.”
